8FP FLOOR PLANER SERIES OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL REV #2 (05/28/09) PAGE 43
ELECTRIC MOTOR SERVICE.
Application: 8FP/E Series Floor Planer.
The electric motor is capable of operating for many
years with a reasonably small amount of maintenance.
Before attempting to service the motor, disconnect the
Floor Planer from the power source. Clean the motor
surfaces periodically, preferably with a vacuum
cleaner. Heavy accumulations of dirt and lint will result
in overheating and premature failure of the motor.
The electric motor is equipped with higher capacity
ball bearings and under normal service and ambient
temperatures, should not require relubrication for
many years. If you feel that the motor requires
relubrication, contact the local representative of the
motor manufacturer for specific information.
The seals utilized with the motor are intended to
deliver a longer service life in a concrete dust
environment. When replacing the seals, utilize only
components meeting the original factory
specifications.
ENGINE SERVICE.
Application: 8FP/G Series Floor Planer.
Consult the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer for specific service and maintenance
information regarding:
1) Muffler
2) Spark Plug
3) Air Filter System
4) Carburetor Adjustment
5) Ignition System
6) Short and Long Term Storage
7) Maximum Governed Engine Speed
8) Emission Standards
Keep this information stored with the Operator's
Manual for the Floor Planer so it will always be
available for use when the engine requires service or
maintenance. A properly maintained engine will add
considerably to the service life and overall productivity
of the Floor Planer.
CAUTION
Because the planing process produces high levels
of random vibration, it is essential that the
maximum governed engine speed be checked at
regular, established intervals. Excessive engine
speed can produce vibration induced forces that
can dramatically affect component service life.
Stress related cracking and resulting failure to
mufflers, blower shrouds, belt guards and other
components can result from excessive engine
speed.
